VH1 announces Rock Doc line-up
VH1 has picked up five documentaries for its Rock Doc series, and they're pretty darn interesting. Alright, four of the five of them sound interesting. The fifth is a Courtney Love documentary, which maybe only qualifies as interesting in that "can't tear my eyes from the car wreck" kinda way. The series aims to bring "untold stories" with an "unconventional narrative approach" to the screen. Three of the five films are acquisitions, which means that documentary filmmakers may have a new avenue for hawking their wares. The series starts up December 16th and continues into 2007.
The five documentaries include:
The Return of Courtney Love
A U.K. doc about the singer's recent rehab days. The film features unseen home movie footage of Kurt Cobain.
A.K.A. Tommy Chong
Winner of the best documentary at the 2006 U.S. Comedy Arts Festival, A.K.A. Tommy Chong focuses on the comedian's incarceration for selling bongs over the internet.
1977
A two-part, two-hour documentary on the year New York "fell into decay," but signaled a virtual urban renaissance with the emergence of hip-hop, punk, graffiti art and "sexual liberation."
Air Guitar Nation
Follows one person's journey to the U.S. Air Guitar Championships.
Sex: The Revolution
A four-part, four-hour series that documents key moments in America's sexual history. Will it include Britney's recent upskirt-palooza? One can only hope.
